Saving Ava
She was not yet aware that each mark was a testament to a physical torment that mirrored the emotional turmoil he felt inside.
Ava's voice trembled as she asked, "Carver, what... what are all these marks from?"
Settling in, Carver hesitated, his voice almost a whisper, "There's a place... somewhere I go when things get too much. It's where they... help me pay for my wrongs so I can move forward." His cryptic words hung in the air, and Ava's heart raced, piecing together the implications of his confession. A cold realization dawned, and with a surge of horror and confusion, she abruptly left the bath, not even bothering to keep the water from cascading over the side as she jumped out.
